FOR NONPROFITS

FOR NONPROFITS

Our Community Foundation awards over $5 million in grants annually to non-profits throughout western Colorado. Additionally, we are committed to supporting and strengthening non-profits in addition to grant funding so that all communities continue to benefit.

FOR STUDENTS

FOR STUDENTS

Our Community Foundation offers 38 different scholarships established by generous donors who believe in the importance of education and the future of the next generation. Local students can apply for college scholarships from scholarship funds at WCCF. Learn more about the eligibility criteria and application process of these scholarships.

Local Community Funds

Since 2002, our Community Foundation has partnered with local steering committees within some of our counties to create Local Community Funds (LCFs). These funds support nonprofits and programs in their areas. This “give where you live” philosophy has resonated for the community members there who value their homes and want to preserve and grow everything that makes their region the place they love to live.

Leadership Work

Our Community Foundation is a convener, connector, and collaborator, providing technical assistance to non-profits and resources to partners working in areas related to our leadership work.

About Us

A community foundation is a place-based charitable institution that serves as an umbrella organization holding multiple funds and providing financial support in the form of grants to nonprofits and scholarships to students. A community foundation is built up over many years, by and for the people who live in a particular community or region, to address needs and support opportunities to improve the quality of life there. Most, but not all funds are permanent endowments, providing financial support in perpetuity for good for the community.
